These latest reports shall constitute the last, supplementary "fifth group of questions." For each People's Commissariat, the most important questions for the report must be drawn up following the model of questions No. 1 - No. 27 contained in the draft decree of the Council of People's Commissars.

The reports shall be printed in approximately 1,000 copies by each provincial executive committee and each district executive committee (the technical possibility of printing, no fewer than 1 printed sheet per month by each district, has been clarified by me through correspondence with Glavbum). The deadline for printing and submission of reports is envisaged at 2 to 4 times per year. This deadline shall be finally established, simultaneously with the approval of the entire decree, by a session of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee.

Each People's Commissar undertakes to submit in writing, in 3-5 copies, by the aforementioned deadline (30. V. 1921, 2 p.m.), a brief list of the most important questions that must be included in the report for the corresponding People's Commissariat.

Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars
